If you think about it, though, the window for there being something resembling objective universal truth has been a very very short period of human history. It really didn't exist before the internet and ubiquitous smartphones.

Before the internet, TV, radio, newspapers were our sources of truth beyond just trusting people in our immediate vicinity, and these were all heavily filtered by what stories they decided to run, the amount of detail they focused on, any human bias that crept into their reporting, etc. I'm not a "FAKE NEWS!!!" kind of guy, but one has always had to ingest news from these sources with some level of filtering in this regard, and understand that there might be other sides to the story, or whole stories of importance going unreported.

If we revert to subjecting images/video/audio clips to the same level of skepticism we had with random people informing us of pieces of news with no proof, then we're effectively just at the same level of objective universal truth as we had been for the overwhelming majority of human history.

I'm not arguing this is a good thing - just that it might have been a small and blissful island that some of us had the privilege of enjoying.
